AA award rules regarding Qatar

[auriga]

What are the rules regarding the use of Qatar Airlines, transiting in Doha to be counted as one award? Does the whole itinerary need to be on QR, or would it be OK to have Qantas->Qatar->Qatar ?

Thanks

Presumably you mean travel between South Pacific (including OZ, NZ, etc.) and Europe. If transiting at DOH then QR only.
